This romance really is NOT hitting for me 😴

I am both so fascinated by Mormons and so appalled by the capability of evil some humans have

I love the vibe of this book and the characters are fun, but something about this story just isn’t fully clicking with me yet

Panic-trying to quickly get through this audiobook before it gets auto-returned to my library in 2 days but it’s so long 😭

Other books this book has reminded me of, so far:
• Throne of Glass (book one)
• Harry Potter series
• The Cruel Prince

I feel like the beginning of this book feels very heavily inspired by the first Throne of Glass book - important main character stuck in a prison to be taken out by the Prince bc of *plot reasons* - it just feels very repetitive in that aspect

I keep starting and stopping this book. It’s just so long I lose interest easily

Okay I love this so far. Using tarot cards to do magic? Like literal anime style magic powers from specific cards in the tarot? I love love love this premise

The way this feels like it’s turning into a monster fudger book is shocking to me

This Scottish language makes physically reading this (as opposed to audiobook) v difficult

Had to take a break from the confusion of CC and return to this Scottish story

Sooooo much happened in a short amount of time I watched two diff video summaries of the book (up to where I read) to understand what happened 😵‍💫

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Here we go…. I already can tell I only like the parts that have the ACOTAR characters in them - otherwise this book feels toooo confusing and convoluted. I genuinely can’t tell what’s going on outside the ACOTAR cast sections

I hadn’t picked this up in a few days and I had to watch a fan’s summary of the book on YouTube to remember what happened 😵‍💫

This book is like *plot plot plot* 😵‍💫 *intense sex scene* 🥵 *plot plot plot* 😵 *intense sex scene*

Also rushing through this audiobook bc my library might have it auto returned soon is NOT helping with my confusion

This plot is so confusing 😵‍💫

This was an adjustment to get into, since they use what seems like old English? Or maybe just bits of old English? It’s still modern but getting used to certain words was difficult…

I feel like I’ve read so much and yet nothing at all???

Also these POV shifts are sooooo confusing

Okay I picked it up again bc the plot got interesting with the Recovering Addict but now we’re back to the poly plotline to the point a character ACTUALLY PULLS OUT a copy of Polysecure and I’m just like …. I mean that’s cool for y’all but can we get back to the witchcraft please?

This is straight up like reading From Blood and Ash. The story of “fae prince steals human woman” can’t NOT remind me of ACOTAR but the characters feel just as flat and boring as FBAA if not worse soooo I’m leaning more that series as the main knock-off

Loving this knock off ACOTAR/ FBAA like its kinda fun

I might have to DNF this for now… a creep at work called me a goddess and it gave me the heebie -geebies 🤮
And the husband calls his wife “goddess” a lot in this book 🫠

Bleh

I am only reading this book for the witchcraft I realllyyyyy do not care for the characters at all

I love the vibes with all the sorcery and witchcraft I just hate the premise of a married couple helping one of their ex boyfriends through a possession…. Feels weird to go from healthy couple to fuckboy POV characters

I like 2 out of 3 of these POV characters….. Honestly feel like maybe they’re trying to make us hate the one for an enemy to lover storyline MAYBE???
